LIKING AND DISLIKING.

You who know the reason, tell me
How il is that i...tinct still
Prompts the heart to like or like not
At its own capricious will?
Tell me by what hidden magic
Our impressions first are led
Into liking or disliking.
Oft before a word be said!
Why should smiles sometimes repel uSt
Bright eyes turn our feelings cold!
What is that which comes to tell US
All that glitfers is not gold.
o. no feature plain or striking,
But a power We can not shun,
Prompts our liking or dislikIng
Ere acquaintance hath begun.
Is il instinct or some spirit
Which protects US and controls
Every impulse we inherit
By some sympathy Of souls:
Is it instinct, is it nature,
Or some freak or fault OF chance,
Which our liking or disliking
Limits to a single glance!
Like presentiment OF danger,
Though the sky no shadow flingsi
Or that inner sense, still stronger,
OF unseen, unuttered things:
Is ito, can no one tell me,
No one show sufficient cause,
Why our liking and disliking
Have their own instructive laws:
